I don't drive unless I have to. I was out yesterday, and after watching my grandkids, ran all my errands. If I'm lucky, I don't have to go out more than 3 times a week. I've done this for years, don't like it, but aside from the price, the planet needs all the help it can get :/

But I'm sick of politicians who let their beliefs determine how they vote. When something is hurting their constituents, they are supposed to be helpful. This guy is not. He is backhandedly supporting the local price gougers.
